Patch 4.3 - Dragon Soul Raid Loot Compilation
The final patch of the expansion is getting closer and closer and it's finally time for a bunch of compilation, recaps, and articles to get you ready for the live release in 2 weeks (hopefully).

We'll start today with a nice list of all the loot you can find in the Dragon Soul raid instance, in all 3 difficulties (Looking for Raid, Normal, Heroic).

One spirit cloth drop is simply not good enough. I wont be coming back.

I'm so happy that you are taking this loot table and thinking that these are the only epics in the game. Valor points give you plenty of options to choose from. Sorry they couldn't accomodate your personal need for only raid drops in 4.3. Peace and we won't miss you, if you actually decide to leave the game.

Never said I was leaving the game. I just mentioned that I hope the VP gear has plenty of spirit gear. If I have to rely on Tier tokens for all my spirit gear, considering the randomness of tokens and the amount of competition there will be among my raid (5/10 needing the same piece that only drops 33% of the time....or worse depending on how bad your raid's RNG is), it'll likely take me until MoP to get what I need. Just very frustrated at the itemization this expansion.

I've seen all the raid loot before on wowheadnews, all the VP stuff too and also craftable items and i saw NO Spell DPS (spiritless) Off-hand in the item level of the content, only saw 1 in the 5-mans which has only 378 item level.

But then I saw an item here http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=77938#see-also ,which has the same model as the Cataclysmic Gladiator's Off-hand, so i hoped that there will be any and the loot table will be changed according to this. But now this loot table shows the same thing and according to wowhead the source of this item is unknown so i guess this won't be added. So really? There won't be Off-hand item for Mages and Warlocks in this content? If someone knows how to contact Blizzard to warn them, then please do it:P. Or i just want to know if it's directly made.

I also looked at it strange, that the Hunters have a Polearm and a Gun from Deathwing too and the "Kiril, Fury of Beasts" procs from ranged attacks too, and I'm sure it was intented to make a feral (even if it's a bear or a cat) larger by the proc but not a human. But if end-gear DPS will be balanced this way it's okay, i'm not jealous about hunters.:P

And for those, who are worrying, that Dual Wield Frost DKs won't have weapon from Deathwing, I tell you that the "Souldrinker", will be definatley BiS for them, as it's no ICD of the proc and procs with 15% chance and the DK's Presence make this proc much more frequently. But still it's best for a Protection Warrior or Paladin.

I disagree with this. Care bear raids should not be getting sweet vanity items. Those are reserved for the real raiders in the game, the ones who actually accomplish something great like killing stuff on heroic mode.

I absolutely love ignorant kids like this, I am deployed 2-6 months every year for the army, and somethings 1yr, so its hard to stay in a Sch guild and raid, so im very thankful for this LFR even if it does fail i still have a chance now and then, and well deserved ban...

The raid drops and tier token drops are all the same RNG, and it's par for the course 10 man raiding. My guild has killed Shannox 21 times normal and heroic...we have yet to see the neck drop off of him. Yes, it's bad RNG, but that's how it goes sometimes. You have a higher chance at tier tokens because one is always guaranteed to drop every boss kill. Between all the shared boss drops and the random pieces, you have a much lower chance at getting a specific gear piece on any given kill. Blizzard already said they are increasing token drops for 10 mans to account for all the tier slots coming from the raid alone. That might explain why Mor'chok was dropping them on the PTR in 10 man. You can also get your 384 tier gear out of LFR, so if you really can't wait for a drop in 10 man, you can run that also. I don't know how your guild does loot, but for me using EPGP, the fewer raid drops I take, the higher my PR will be for all those yummy tier pieces.

Maybe do a bit of gear checking before you just assume: ZOMG There's only one cloth spirit raid drop, Blizz hates holy priests! There is absolutely no lack of spirit gear for holy priests, and you would have seen that had you actually spent a few minutes to check.

On the PTR Horrifying Horn Arbalest is not listed as part of Warlord Zon'ozz's loot table in the Dungeon Journal as of 11/17 (4.3 version 15005)The Crossbow and Gun are not part of any bosses loot table as of right now.

Man comments like these make my head hurt. I'm sorry but if you couldn't manage to raid at all without the LFR tool then you probably shouldn't be playing an MMO. With how short and easy todays raids are you have no excuse of claiming only those with no life can see all the content. And I'm only talking about normal modes. The issue is seeing the content not getting the best loots so heroic doesn't matter.

I find time to clear normal Firelands on multiple alts each week and each full run takes a handful of hours only. If you can't spare 3 to 4 hours a week to raid then why bother playing this game. I mean really?

Also I do think it's lame to offer normal modes an uglier version of the Life-Binder mount. Part of what makes Mimiron's Head, and Invincible so special is how hard it was to get them. I never got one sadly, but I'm not complaining about that. There should be two mounts really, one for the heroic final boss, and one for doing the raid achievement for said zone.

You fail to understand that not all people can stick to a schedule on a game(or even want to for that matter), doesn't matter how long it is.

Anyone notice a number of these are miscategorized? If someone else already brought this up, sorry, didn't look through 7 pages. For example, I seriously doubt Maw of the Dragonlord would be considered a SPELL DPS weapon. Proof reading ftw.
